Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>I have had this boxing photo for awhile now and was wondering if any of you guys could provide me with information regarding it. Exact date? Identity of boxer? Thanks in advance!<br /><br /><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg184/IronHorse2130/boxer1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg184/IronHorse2130/boxer2.jpg">

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Exact date would be tough, but the cabinet is a style seen around 1890, give or take a few years.

Posted By: <b>Jimmy</b><p>I agree with Barry 1890s, most likely an unknown fighter, but with some research you maybe able to find something. Start with the photographer and where the picture was taken. Then you can search if there were any famous fighters from the area.<br /><br />Jimmy

Posted By: <b>D. Bergin</b><p>Nice pose, flag belt. c. 1890 is about right. Looks like a professional of the era.<br /><br />He looks a little bit like a lot of guys but not quite any of them exactly.<br /><br />Look up Paddy Ryan, Jake Kilrain (older version), Steve Taylor and Mike Conley.<br /><br />I don't really think it's any of them but those are the guys with similar attributes I could find and I just might not have found the right pose.
